Around six months ago when Frank Valentini was explaining to ROGER HOWARTH, KRISTEN ALDERSON and MICHAEL EASTON how he would bring them back to the show and not their characters, I am positive this had to have been the jist of his explanation to them:

'Okay, guys, so we are bringing you back to the show -- but as completely different characters -- but after the first three months, you can go back to acting like your old characters."

I'm serious. Nobody has been putting any acting muscle into this at all. Perhaps Easton and only because he finally cut that filthy head of hair.
